This allows for immediate organization and sorting of computers and other machines into various categories like domain, type, operating system, and model. Quick overviews of all devices in a networkĪll computers, as well as devices, can be displayed in an overview layout for the users.

After that, the system then scans the machines automatically and generate detailed scan reports about the findings such as information about software, hardware, Windows updates, product keys and event logs. With this, users can create optimal schedules for scanning the network devices according to their critical servers and IP ranges. Jive is capable of conducting an inventory of PC and networks even without deploying agents for each machine. There are way more reasons than that to be honest - but those are a good start.The main benefits of Lansweeper are its capability to scan PC and network, provide an overview of all devices in a network and organize them, facilitate with administrative tasks and handle software licensing audits. Solarwinds just gives you the name/IP/Model and open portsįor Windows PCs, Lansweeper gathers far more information without using an agent than Solarwinds does - and again it has clickable actions - RDP to that machine/open c$/shutdown etc. It also has customisable actions - on an assets page I can click to ping that asset/open putty/open the asset's webpage etc. The first thing is probably the layout - Lansweeper puts more information straight in front of you and is way easier on the eyes - too much white space in Solarwinds.įunctionally, Lansweeper gives far more information - for example for a network switch it will list each port and have a hyper link to the device that is being detected as being connected to that port, allowing you to click through to that asset. The asset discovery in Lansweeper is faaaar superior in Lansweeper than Solarwinds - though for the actual helpdesk the reverse is true. I have experience of both - more Lansweeper than Solarwinds to be fair.
